25 Tiny Changes to Break 100

[@APplumber]

I really like that you’re honestly trying to help out high handicappers and average golfers, and not just trying to show off your baus skills.

[@Brettymac24]

Absolutely agree ! Like I’ve broken 90 and 80 but next time I go out I want to try this as a bit of fun. Golf sidekicks motto should be “making golf great again “

[@grownbabygolf1676]

Yeah he is a good vibe...very humble...great channel!

[@CGBrendy]

For people worried about playing with strangers if you are still trying to break 100 - low handicaps don’t care how many times you hit. If you don’t rage when you hit bad, only take about 30 seconds to line up and hit your ball, and aren’t being super negative, I’m going to have a great round, and help you look for your ball in the trees. Your baus system sounds like a great way for players to stay positive and adjust their expectations! A positive golfer is a golfer who is going to make good decisions and play well

[@Coffey1200R]

Thank you for posting that. I have broken 100 a few times, but I always have to find a group of friends to play with because I don't want to be added in to a group of good players. I never get upset playing golf. I think I might take one of those single tee times this weekend and just go out with a good attitude. I am also very cognizant of my pace of play. I will pick up before I slow people down.

[@tomanderson1129]

I modified the scorecard at my home course to reflect your strategy. I showed it to the club pro, and he loved it! Our course just opened for the season (I'm in New England), and I played my first nine of the season applying Matt's system. I used a 3-iron off the tee. EVERY tee ball was on the fairway, and I was able to get on the greens with the modified GIR. Putting sucked, though: too many 3-putts. I could have shaved 5 strokes had I putted better. This system ROCKS!

[@OrvinReyes]

hit "RELIABLY in the DIRECTION you want to go" cannot be overstated enough.

[@lander3673]

I broke 100 today for the first time with a 98. I started golfing a year ago, no lessons just YT. I still can't hit my driver but I don't need to as my 5W stays in play off the tee. Something just started clicking with my irons lately and I'm enjoying myself a lot more out on the course. I just wanted to say, thank you!

[@deanmccormick8070]

Congrats, you're on the right road! I am a senior, many years away from the game. Shot an 83 today on a 5,500 yard course, with no hits over about 190 yards. So it can be done. For what it's worth, this is my best score since I got back to the game. You don't have to hit it 250 yards, just keep the ball in play.

[@lander3673]

@@deanmccormick8070 Congrats on the 83, that is impressive to someone like myself. I play on a 9 hole course 3000 yard tees. My best 9 is a 46 while best 18 is 98. I don't care how far it goes as long as its in play.

[@SortaLikeGolf]

This is all 100% true. I tried to break 100 for YEARS. Did the Golf Sidekick Way of the Playa and broke 100 almost immediately. This works, period. I am working on getting consistently under 100 (last round was 103), but I'm now shooting 18 hole rounds as low as 93 and 9 holes as low as 40. You can do this!

[@andrikristianto2577]

Dude is genuine… having been consistently in the low and below 90 in last 1 year after his break 90 legendary lecture (after only 2 years plus golfing)…. And I’m a short hitter (180-210 yards total driving distance)..

[@merocaine]

I've started to break 100 regularly, and even shot a 91 in the late autumn. Your output was a big help, Especially the 'your not good enough to get mad' vibe, gave this hacker some much needed perspective. Thanks!

[@JamesJones-cl3dx]

That’s actually dope dude I was stuck in the 97-105 range for a couple months to start my second year of golf and towards the end u shot my best score of 91 as well. This year I started to play each hole at 1 par extra and it’s helping me already ! On a short 27 par I shot 36 which is only 9 over on 9 holes. Some par’s some doubles but it gave me good confidential

[@marksimpson2321]

This is the only golf channel I follow for golf and life advice ! Realistic growth mindset attitude.

[@PlayVintageGolf]

I don't know why I watched the whole thing. I'm a 4 hdcp so breaking 100 is never on my mind. But this thoughtful approach is really enjoyable. There's some application to everyone.

[@thomastrain7311]

Right there with you. I'm around a 2 handicap and had an absolutely rotten day ball striking a couple of days ago and still shot 77. Yesterday started out rough and shot 5 over on the front 9. Followed that up by 4 under on the back 9. Staying in the right mindset and not letting a bad hole , or two, spiral out of control. These kids are great for everyone.

[@onelifeoneshot1066]

[@TerriblyCinemaddict]

After watching his videos, I wonder why I have a driver at all.

[@paulgriffiths1566]

One of your best ones, Matt. Mimicking a high handicapper’s poor swing path made it seem more realistic. Well done.

[@FoundAGarage]

Just broke 100 first time last week! Super insightful video as I move onto my next goal, thank you

[@CAL4Eagles]

This is GOLD!!! Thank you for using REAL high handicap distances (150 MAX) to show how to break 100. I shoot anywhere from 102 to 116 so I'm hoping with these hints and strategies I can finally break 100. Thank you Playa!

[@CAL4Eagles]

Got it! shot a 98 today. Thanks to Matty Boom Boom! As I was working my way around the course I could hear Playa in my ear saying things like "Use your confidential club", "Play to Texas" and "Pitch & putt."

This is the guy giving great advice! Also knows that not "anyone" can hit their 7 iron 150 yards. Excellent!

[@timothys4855]

Matty Boom Boom has transformed me from a bad golfer to a golf lover. I would have never discovered some of these tips on my own. Not only am I close to breaking 90, but I plan my shots and enjoy the game even when I have a bad hole. Recognizing the little things matters: Play to your shot shape. Texas. Toe down chip. Quit hitting and hoping for the green every approach. No Hero shots. Thank you, Matty Playa. Cheers

Toe down chipping with a SW and PW!! I never considered this. Click, click, added to the arsenal. Thanks Baus!

[@thomastrain7311]

Try it with an 8 iron. Get the ball rolling like a putt and you'll be amazed by how many you'll make. Get the shaft almost straight up and down , pick a landing spot and roll it in !

[@footbowl8939]

@@thomastrain7311 my go to is with 7 iron. I love the shot and use it every time I play. The 8 would be a little diffferent, so I'll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks Thomas!

[@thomastrain7311]

@footbowl8939 7 is good too! I just switched to a new set of irons and I'm adjusting to the new lofts for those type shots. My titleist blades had a loft of 48° for pw. My 0311's pw is 42° so the number on the bottom of the club isn't as relevant as the actual style / type of shot these days.

[@AOBigHouseBob]

Been trying to break 100 for a while now! Followed this guidance, ditched many clubs from my bag. Hey presto, after a few weeks applying the principles I finally made 98! Now the tricky bit to keep following this up. Thanks

[@robinbhairam7508]

I’ve been playing for about 8 years .. a very questionable 22.4 Hcp … I’ve waiting to ‘get good’ before playing medals and comps (I’m still waiting!) - Why did I not discover you sooner?!!. You and Bob Rotella have changed my golfing mindset I’m getting the ‘confidentiality’ 😂 … thanks man 😊 ⛳️

[@beauk3556]

I’ve been watching GSK for years. The one issue I’ve always had with this channel is the fact that the system that Matt uses relies on the assumption that the player can make proper contact. “Just break the approach up into 2 shots”. Thats fine as long as the high handicapper can make solid contact with both wedge approach shots. “Just take an iron or a hybrid off the tee”. Well, there are no fairway finder clubs for high handicappers. They are just as likely to duff a 7 iron off the tee as a driver. Need more videos like this where he takes duffs into consideration. I like it!

Great videos and very well explained.

[@robertclark6117]

😊Waiting to get over an injury and will be using these tips to get back in the game. Thanks for the great advice.

[@danielcohen3159]

Matt is correct. I’m a 4 handicap, and whenever I play with someone who is less advanced in the game but they’re playing within themselves and only hitting shots they have some confidence in, I’m impressed and I think, “that’s good golf right there.” Plus, they keep up with pace of play because they spend most of the round in the fairway! And I have a pretty good short game, but in the winter here in Tennessee with wet, tight lies of dormant Bermuda, I use the handle high, toe down chipping 95% of the time, even from 50 yards out or so. Many higher handicaps could save 5-10 strokes a round just doing it, versus thinning and fatting lob wedges all day. G I O T G !

[@thomastrain7311]

Man I can attest to the brutal winter conditions, I'm not too far from you in s.w. va and play a lot in tenn. You definitely have to adjust when it's wet , dormant conditions.

I have made up a scoring card with this model and will use it every time I play now. Hole by hole aiming for the par 99 GIR finishing with a two put. I will use my 6 iron for the tee shots on every par 6 or 7 and 8 or 9 iron on the shorter original par 3's. Will be fun to see what this will do to my hcp 39,9. Wadda man you are, Matty!

[@Asapbetty]

I watched this video yesterday and tried it out today and shot a 99! Started playing again 2 months ago after a 10 year break from the game and I was struggling to get under 100 until I saw this yesterday it’s just makes the game so much easier thinking of a par 4 as a par 5 or 6.

[@bradyjansen3023]

Just turned 50 and had the best game of golf on a soaked golf course using your methods it would have been better if not for a couple of 3 putts. Knowing your honest distances and using your confidential clubs is the key. Many thanks

I have used this system really takes the pressure off the game. I adjusted it to help play where I am and slowly cut strokes off my game. My local is a PAR 65 so I did: if index > 10 +1, if index

[@Maydoggie]

I'm just starting to play golf again after a 10+ year hiatus. In the past 10 years, I might have played 5 times until the last month. I played SOOO bad the past few rounds, and I was very discouraged. I watched this video and a few others of yours and I took some notes on my phone. I went out this morning by myself and incorporated several of your suggestions: 1) I stopped trying to hit PGA shots and I focused on hitting to safe spots; 2) I reduced the clubs in my bag to 5w, 6i, 8i, PW, SW, and putter; 3) I tried to not "hit" the ball, I focused on swinging the club; 4) The decision box/execution box; 5) Titties to the target! I didn't break 100 because my ball striking on the first 7-8 holes was horrendous and I 3-putted way too much. BUT, I figured out 3 things by the turn that helped my ball striking tremendously: 1) I swung the club closer to my body, 2) I straightened my left arm more and pulled it with my shoulder through the downswing, and 3) I started rotating my wrists more. After I got the feel for these 3 things, I was actually shaping the ball occasionally and it actually worked. Also at the beginning of my round the 6i was my 150 club, but by the back 9, my 8i was my 150 club. I also figured out that I was better off using a 6 or 8 iron for chipping, leaving the wedges for longer shots. Anyway, thank you. I know I'm going to be breaking 100 soon.

[@QueensWino]

Awesome video and timely! I have yet to break 100 officially however I have high hopes of doing so soon. I broke it on a simulator during the offseason. I don’t count that but it was encouraging. Cheers!

Just started in July. Had gotten 100 twice but never broke it. Decided to give the way of the playa a real try. Put my driver in timeout since that’s a 10% club for me. 50 on the front, 47 on the back including 3 pars and a birdie on the 17th on a par 3 over water. Only lost one ball The real thing that stuck out to me was just how much better of a result 2 pitching wedges is then a 4 hybrid and partial wedge / long chip.

I broke 100 for the first time last season following Matty Boom Boom's advice. I had only 1 or 2 pars and never hit a green in "pro regulation". But I managed the course to hit only comfy shots and had only 35 putts. If instead of practicing 4 foot putts and playing smart I would have spent all week ripping drivers at the range and going for it every hole, I'd have shot 120 easily.
